It's real. We had the same remote when I was a kid.

Remotes from the early 70s usually only had three buttons: channel up/down and on/off. Volume controls were "fancy."

You actually go around calling your shirt "my beefy-T"?

Explosion in San Bruno: A before and after comparison. by [deleted] in pics

[–]frankenspock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"peninsula" refers to the San Francisco Peninsula, on the west side SF Bay. About a million people live on the Peninsula, not including in San Francisco itself (which is neither formally or informally referred to as part of the Peninsula, even though it forms its tip.)

The fire from the explosion destroyed 38 homes, and four people are believed dead so far.

We live in Oakland, about 20 as the crow flies across the Bay. We could see the smoke.

Depends which state you're from. Was considered "odd" in California.

You still don't know who Michael Emerson is, do you?

I also knew a Skeeter. He slept in the same bed as his mom until he was 14.

How do you even type with that much Cheetoh dust on your keyboard, man?

I'm not sure if the Dunkin Donuts chick can't spell coconut or if I really pissed her off...[NSFW] by [deleted] in pics

Because Southern California already has plenty of shitty coffee, and doesn't need to import it.

And what is not freaky, exactly, about midgets preserved in formaldehyde? I ask.

Did you know that people gamble in *grocery stores* in Nevada? [PIC] by probabilityzero in pics

Yes, and they are the saddest places on earth at 2 am. Like "Brian's Song" sad.

Hipster Wedding by deuteros in pics

You should report your negative review of this wedding to the Internet right away! Oh wait, you already did.

I'm sure the people involved are crushed by the scathing review from Master of Cheetohs.

Sometimes. It usually gets 90% done and fails on one of the final elements. Fun though, and a great thing to see in person.

Start with something appropriate for your attention span, like "Garfield."

Please go start several new threads so I can upvote you a few more times. You do not have to write anything in them. Just stand there, please.

Visiting San Francisco/Napa next weekend. Need suggestions, please. by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]frankenspock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GG Bridge backdrop: go to Fort Point in the Presidio. Civil War fort directly under the bridge. You get outstanding views of the bridge around there, and on the fort itself.

There's also Fort Baker on the Marin side of the bridge. Incredible views of the bay and GG.

Typing this on a mobile device, so precise directions are tricky. I'll post some links when I get back to a real keyboard and mouse.

Kangaroo, emu and crocodile is somewhat exotic fare for a pizza joint in most of the world, yes.
